INTRODUCTION

The Bush Hog 2308 Series Rotary Mower is designed for medium duty applications such

as weed, grass, corn stalks, and light brush to 1-1/2" diameter. These mowers are multi

spindle with two free-swinging blades on each spindle. Free swinging blades reduce the

shock of impact when a stationary object is hit. Additional protection is provided by a slip

clutch on the gearbox input shaft and a rubber element shaft between gearboxes. A oval-

blade holder allows the mower to “ride over” stumps and similar immovable objects. These

Mowers are attached to the tractor using 3- point Cat I & II standard and quick hitches, and

pull hitch. Standard equipment includes driveline shields, clutch shields and front and rear

discharge shields.

The 2308 Series is shipped from the factory with the Front and Rear Safety Enclosures

assembled to the cutter. The enclosures can be Single Row or Double Row chains on the

front or Single Row Chains, Double Row Chains or a Metal Band to the rear.

These Enclosures should be maintained in good working order and remain attached to

or Livestock.

INTRODUCTION

2308 SERIES 01/19 Introduction Section 2-5

INTRODUCTION

KEY OPERATION POINTS

• Cutting performance and distribution are best when cutter is level from side to side and front to rear.

In extra heavy material, rear chains will allow better discharge and better distribution than solid rear

deflectors or bands.

• Never operate the Mower below full PTO speed of 540 or 1000 rpm.

• Corn should be cut at 5 to 6 mph. If full PTO rpm cannot be maintained, use one lower gear.

Operating Noise Level/Sound Pressure

The sound levels at the operator's ear from the attached machine (rotary cutter) are at least 10 dB(A) below

the levels from typical Agricultural tractors used to power and transport this machine. Therefore, the Noise

emission values given by the OEM of the Agricultural tractor used to power and transport this machine would

be valid when this machine is attached to and operated by that Agricultural tractor in all OEM recommended

applications.

Warranty information

TIRES AND WHEELS

Before installing any tires and wheels make certain the Cutter is jacked up high enough and is securely sup-

ported. When installing laminated or airplane tires, be sure the flat side of the lug nut is against the wheel.

There are only three types of tires that can be used on this cutter DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF

TIRE OR WHEEL, such as automutive tires and rims. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM SPEED FOR

EACH TYPE OF TIRE. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine, tire and wheel.

When installing Laminated Tires and Wheels note the direction of travel and curvature of rubber segments

of the tire and install as shown in illustration below. Do not exceed 20 M.P.H. on Lamianted Tires.

Before seperating wheel halves on Airplane Tires,let all the air out ouf the tire by removing the valve core to

make certain no air pressure is left in the tube befor seperating the wheel halves to dismount tire.

OPERATION

Tractor Safety Devices

If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped

with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the

rear of the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the

tractor warning signals are obscured.

Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were

removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or implement. Never operate the tractor PTO

with the PTO master shield missing or in the raised position. OPS-U- 0004

Tractor Horsepower

The power required to operate a mower is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most mowing

conditions, the 2308 Series lift mower requires a tractor with at least 50 HP and the semi-mount and pull

type mower require at least 40 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have adequate power

may damage the tractor engine. Exceeding 75 HP may cause mower damage by overpowering the unit in

heavy cutting conditions.

3-Point Hitch

Lift Type Mower-The tractor 3-point hitch must be

rated to lift at least 1850 lbs.

The Model 2308 Series is designed to be mounted

on a tractor with CAT I or CAT II 3-point or CAT I or

CAT II Quick Hitch.

Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for the cate-

gory of the tractor being used. If the hitch does not

conform to ASABE dimensions, the mower may not

fit or raise properly. Consult an authorized dealer for

possible modification procedures to mount non-con-

forming hitches.

Depending on the hitch category, certain size pins

are used to attach the mower to the tractor. Quick

Hitch requires 1-7/16 diameter lower pin and 1-1/4

diameter upper pin. CAT II hitches require 1-1/8 lower

pins and 1 inch upper pins. CAT III hitches require

1-7/16 lower pins and 1-1/4 upper pin diameters.

Our 3-point Quick Hitch is designed to connect to a

Quick-Attach coupler making mounting and dis-

mounting your mower easier. The 3-Point Quick

Hitch is also designed to connect the mower to a

tractor’s 3-point linkage without the use of a Quick

Attach Coupler.

Setting Mowing Height - Pull Type

1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground.

2. Using the hydraulic cylinder or ratchet attached

to the rear axle position the front skid shoes 1”

less off the ground of the desired mowing height.

(Example: If a 3” cut is desired Place the Skid-

shoes at 2” off the ground.) If a hydraulic cylinder

is used for height control, stroke spacers can be

placed on the cylinder rod to maintain a set cut-

ting height.

2. Adjust the two Leveling Rods so the front of the

mower is approximately 3/4” lower than the rear.

3. Level Rod adjustment is achieved by loosening

the lock nut against the clevis and screwing the

Level Rods in or out to set desired setting.

4. Be sure Level rods are equally set to maintain a

level cut.

5. Tighten the Lock Nut against the clevis to main-

tain the setting.

A fin de reducir la tasa de accidentes y mejorar la operación segura de las cortadoras, Alamo Group Ag Division se

ha asociado con otros fabricantes de la industria para desarrollar el video y la guía de Prácticas de Seguridad para

Cortadoras Industriales y Agrícolas AEM/FEMA.

El video explica a los operadores de tractores y cortadoras las prácticas seguras que deben adoptar cuando

utilizan cortadoras industriales y agrícolas. Es importante que todos los operadores de cortadoras aprendan cómo

operar sus equipos de corte y puedan reconocer los posibles peligros que pueden surgir al operar una cortadora.

Este video, en conjunto con el manual del operador de la cortadora y los mensajes de advertencia que se

encuentran en la cortadora, serán muy útiles para complementar este aprendizaje tan importante.

Es posible que su distribuidor autorizado de Bush Hog le haya mostrado este video y le haya entregado una copia

en DVD cuando adquirió su cortadora. Si usted o algún operador de cortadora no vio el video: mire el video, lea

este Manual del Operador, y complete la Guía del Video antes de operar su cortadora nueva. Si no comprende

alguna de las instrucciones del video o del manual del operador, o si tiene alguna pregunta acerca de la operación

segura, comuníquese con su supervisor, con el distribuidor o con Alamo Group Ag.

Si desea recibir una copia del video en VHS, envíe un mensaje de correo electrónico a AEMVideo@alamo-

group.com o un fax al (830) 372-9529, o envíe por correo una copia rellenada del formulario que se encuentra al

dorso de esta página a AEM VHS Video 1502 E Walnut Street, Seguin, TX 78155, y solicite la versión en VHS.

Indique su nombre, dirección postal, modelo de cortadora y número de serie.

Cada uno de los operadores debe recibir capacitación para cada equipo (tractor y cortadora), comprender el uso

previsto, y comprender los posibles peligros antes de operar el equipo.

La informacion y material mecionado en la informacion anterior junto con el Manual de Operador puede asistir en

cumplir con los requisitos de OSHA para el entrenamiento anual del Operador.

Al propietario/operador/distribuidor

Este Manual del Operador es una parte esencial de la operación segura de esta máquina y se debe mantener con

la unidad siempre. El implemento incluye un porta manual donde se puede guardar el manual de manera

adecuada. Si el manual se extravía o se daña, puede solicitar otra copia sin cargo a un distribuidor autorizado de

Bush Hog o descargarlo del sitio web de Bush Hog (www.bushhog.com).

ANTES DE COMENZAR LEA, COMPRENDA y SIGA la información incluida en este manual, el Manual de

Seguridad de la Cortadora AEM y el manual del operador del tractor para conocer cómo operar la máquina y

realizar tareas de servicio correctamente. De lo contrario, podría sufrir lesiones u ocasionar lesiones a terceros.

Todos los implementos con partes móviles son potencialmente peligrosos. Cada esfuerzo ha sido hecho para

asegurar que la màquina esté segura, pero los operadores deben evitar entrar en prácticas peligrosas y seguir las

instrucciones escritas que son proporcionadas. El fabricante ha diseñado este implemento para ser usado con

todos sus equipos de seguridad correctamente sujetados para minimizar la probabilidad de accidentes.

LA SEGURIDAD PRIMERO. Lea con atención la totalidad de la sección de seguridad de este manual antes de

operar el equipo. No permita que nadie opere el equipo sin haber leído y comprendido la totalidad de este manual.

Comuníquese con el distribuidor si necesita explicación sobre alguna instrucción que no haya comprendido del

todo.

Los cuidados que brinde a su Implemento Bush Hog determinarán en gran medida su satisfacción con el

desempeño y la vida útil del equipo. Lea con atención y siga las instrucciones de este manual para comprender

cabalmente su nuevo implemento, su uso previsto, y sus requisitos de servicio.

Todas las referencias que se hacen en este manual a derecha, izquierda, frontal, trasero, arriba y abajo

corresponden a la perspectiva en el sentido del desplazamiento hacia delante con el implemento correctamente

sujetado al tractor.

La información sobre repuestos se encuentra por separado en el Manual de Partes. Las cortadoras Bush Hog

utilizan componentes del sistema equilibrados y coincidentes para porta cuchillas, cuchillas, ejes de corte, hojas,

ganchos para hojas, rodillos, componentes de los engranajes, y cojinetes. Estas partes se fabrican y se prueban

según las especificaciones de Bush Hog. Las partes compatibles no genuinas no siempre cumplen con estas

especificaciones. El uso de partes no genuinas puede perjudicar el desempeño de la cortadora, anular la garantía

y presentar un riesgo para la seguridad. Use partes genuinas Bush Hog para ahorrar dinero y maximizar la

seguridad.

Para referencia futura, registre el número de modelo y el número de serie de Bush Hog que ha adquirido.
